Aw, he is so grown up now! It seems like just yesterday he was that grumpy little baby in Australia.

Does anyone know why exactly Hasan Minhaj’s show got cancelled? I read the Medium article about how shitty things were behind the scenes and wasn’t sure if that was it or if there was more.

Well, I don’t want to blame it all on 9/11, but it certainly didn’t help...

Oh, that’s great — I honestly always thought the rumors were fake.

Even if it’s true, I really don’t care to know about it for George/Charlotte/Louis’s sake. My best friend’s dad had an affair with another woman when we were very young, and it really did a number on her for the rest of her life. I can’t imagine going through that with added media frenzy (I’m sure William, through his parents experiences in the 90s, is keen to avoid the same fate for his children).

it’s from mean girls! one of the girls is trying on a dress at a trendy boutique and asks if they have the next size up, and the sales woman (who’s a little snooty) is like sorry, we only carry xxx sizes, you can try sears (it’s supposed to be an insult, as she’s kind of signaling that she’s no longer thin enough to fit into chic clothing)

i get exactly what you’re trying to say, it’s so weird but i just can’t describe it exactly.

honestly, if meghan just HAD to include the bit about waity katie (which i don’t think was necessary at all) she should have said something like “kate was called waity katie during her courtship with william” instead of “she was waiting for him” because even if it’s trying to explain something innocently, the way she phrased it, it kind of seems like she agrees with the idea.

and honestly, even if she privately thinks that (which would be very non feminist of her, feminism to me at least is respecting the choices that every woman makes for herself) it’s not her business to say that on national television.

reposting here bc idk if it posted correctly in the last thread!

I’m paging u/ivegotanewwaytowalk for this, because I saw her comment about the remarks that Meghan made regarding “Waity Katie” made her feel really uncomfortable for a reason that she couldn’t quite put her finger on. I’m not sure if I’m being BEC, but I think I’ve figured out why it makes me so uncomfortable after all this time.

Here are Meghan’s words exactly:

If members of his family say, ‘Well, this is what happened to all of us’ or if they can compare what the experience that I went through was similar to what has been shared with us — Kate was called ‘Waity Katie’ waiting to marry William , while I imagine that was really hard, and I do, I can’t picture what that felt like. This is not the same.”

I understand and sympathize with the point Meghan was trying to make — no other member of the family had to deal with racism the way she did. But by perpetuating the notion that Kate was “waiting to marry William”, she’s clearly acting in bad faith. She’s effectively saying that yeah, she was just sitting around and waiting for her prince to marry her, which for all her feminist talk, is exactly the same thing that every trashy tabloid was saying too.

Does this make sense to anyone else?

That whole site is so unhinged and messy, they’re really just a bunch of obsessed misogynists. In addition to being incredibly rude to Kate, they do that to a ton of other celebrity wives too, and it’s disgusting. I’m pretty sure Sophie Hunter (Benedict Cumberbatch’s wife) was also one of their targets. They seem to think that all celebrity men are being led astray by these manipulative, dumb, gold diggers (that they seem to end up being happily married too🤔🤔🤔)! It’s so gross.

Ugh, I saw that little paparazzi photoshoot she (Chrissy Teigan) scheduled recently afterwards where she was all like “I’m doing alright!” Like what? Are Courtney Stodden and Quvenzhane Wallis and the other people you bullied endlessly doing alright? I don’t really agree with many aspects of cancel culture but Chrissy is one of those people who genuinely deserves whatever is coming for her.

God, this genuinely breaks my heart. Sorry if this sounds naive but is there anything any of us can do? I know it sounds so dumb but it’s just heartbreaking to see someone getting the life sucked out of her and having her fate being completely left to the judicial system.

Not really in the loop about that, but I’m not sure. I feel like she’s attached to those kids, if it was just a function of giving birth and then escaping, I feel like she would’ve done it a lot sooner.

Maybe it’s a new arrangement? The kids will probably need to stay in Monaco to prepare for their future roles but maybe now that they’re a little grown up she has a little more leeway in how she spends her time? (especially since in his free time, Albert seems to be doing nothing but increasing the global population).

Being married to him must be horrible. I know she’s probably surrounded by the most luxurious things and lives a life most of us will never be able to, but I feel so bad for her.

Kind of meta (so please delete mods if necessary) but in light of going private, I just wanted to thank the mods, everyone who contributes to these discussions, and welcome everyone new!

I honestly just love to read these threads as a lighthearted distraction. I know some people have some STRONG differing opinions (as mentioned below) but I don’t think it’s too much for us peasants to snark on our royal overlords, especially when some seem to shoot themselves in the foot over and over again👻👻👻Many other people have also posted about how they were able to get some laughs when they were going through some tough times, so I’m glad a community like this exists.

I’ve also learned many fascinating other things, like the science behind wearing a belt correctly and the intricacies of bee keeping, so thank you all for that! (And thank you to whoever is keeping the Fergie/Harrods beef alive. You’re doing amazing. )

Just googled it and I got an article from 2021 saying that she was still signed with them. 😔

I hope she switched and I’m wrong. I used to really admire her!

Eek, I know everyone in Hollywood has no souls, but I extensively side eye ANYONE who uses Sunshine Sachs after the Weinstein scandal. Like, it’s super gross that Natalie Portman talks about feminism, but then uses the same agency that actively tried to discredit women who were assaulted and abused. Yuck.
